Course winner. Latest win at Leicester (6f) in September. 12/1, not in same form when tenth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) in October, weakening 1f out. This mark demands more.

8/1

Respectable third of 9 in handicap (12/1) at this course (5.7f) in September, faring best of those ridden prominently. Has gone well fresh previously so worth a check in betting for positive vibes.

Forecasts

Able Kane (2/1), Saaheq (3/1), Diligent Lady (5/1), Zulu Zander (7/1), Haveoneyerself (8/1), Iconic Knight (17/2), King Of Stars (9/1), Union Rose (16/1)

A typically wide-open sprint handicap with the vote in favour of DILIGENT LADY. Fit from the all-weather, her latest effort over 6f suggested a return to the minimum trip was in order and the likely strong pace here should be right up her street. Saaheq and King of Stars head up the dangers, ahead of Union Rose.
